A man wanted on a warrant from North Carolina was arrested on a drug charge Sunday in Oconee County after he was found sleeping outside a medical office.

Bradley Scott Jacobs, 41, who provided an address of Monroe, was arrested after an employee arrived about 11 a.m. at the clinic at 1741 Hog Mountain Road and found the man sleeping at the front door, according to an Oconee County Sheriff’s Office report.

The woman told the deputy that rather than attempting to awaken the man, she called 911. The deputy arrived to find Jacobs holding a cellphone and "either sleeping or passed out."

Upon being awakened, Jacobs told the officer he was "resting," officers said. A background check showed he was wanted on a felony warrant in North Carolina.

Jacobs was carrying a bag which the deputy searched and found a syringe with liquid and a small bag of methamphetamine, according to the report. He was charged with possession of meth and drug-related objects.

Jacobs remained in jail Monday with bond set at $10,000.
